I don't think of it as ebb or flood
the tide turns going west at 3:17 this afternoon then changes to head east(against your bro) at 9:20 tonight.
So I would say that if he gets to the canal by 9 he should be ok.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

What kind of a kicker does he have on it? I've seen sailboats that just barely made headway against the current. And a few that started drifting backwards once the current got up to full steam, and had to turn around and wait it out.
We're in the first quarter of the moon, so the current won't be ripping too hard, but still, he'll do better skating downcurrent. It's the difference between a 25 minute sleigh ride, or an hour and a half struggle while burning a lot of gas.

He'll be fine.
Mike: That ain't no "kicker" in a 41 foot sailboat.  |

Volvo penta with a folding prop. We did OK against foul current in same boat last month, about two hours......I was staying three boat lengths off the wall to get out of current, so 7 plus knots throught the water, about 4-4.5K over the bottom. Stiil found a brick three boatlengths off, stopped 8 tons dead in the water. Hauled it and was minimal bondo damage.

Always right down the middle if you can.
A fellow cohort out of NBYC caused severe damage running about that distance from the riprap.
